Chicken not eating/drinking after worm treatment.

[Ginntonix]

My hen started to act weirdly (separate from flock, head pulled in, high stepping) about a week ago. I separated her and brought her in (I can't keep her separated and safe from predators outside). When I treated her for worms there were adult roundworms in her poop.

Since then she's just not thriving. She's still indoors, so she's spending her day in the bathroom. She won't move from where she's put down in the morning until I take her out in the evening. She's declined fruit, veg, seeds, pellets etc etc. I'm spoonfeeding her baby porridge because her comb is getting paler and floppier. I can't see lice/mites and I've treated her with flubenvet and Harkers 4 in 1. Her poop is green and white.

I don't have vet care. Is there anything else I can do to help her?

I'm sorry to say that there mightve been contraindications between the flubenvet and Harkers 4 in 1. It wouldve been best to just give her only the flubenvet. Try giving her plain boiled rice mixed with buttermilk. There's not much else you can do.

Try some scrambled eggs with a bit of rolled oats and millet and grated carrots. And add a vitamin supplement containing B-complex, E and D3.

The Harkers 4 in 1 on top of Flubenvet might have caused intoxication.

How old is your hen and what breed?
